funky problems

ok so i installed knoppix on my harddrive. now i really want to chahge teh res i cant stand 640x480. so i found the thing to do that. but it doenst change it. i dont know why but it just wont. now alos it shows my card as generic and not as 9600pro. also (i think i might be able to figure this out) the login screen seems to ben in a nother language. gona look at that now but still dont know about the res and vidcard. yes this is a laptop.


oh and on a nother note where is the volume control. i think i have sould working but dont hear any thing so i want to see if its like muted,.


Thank You

ok found the language problem but i cant save it after i set it to english. i dont rember if there was a button on the bottem but i cant see it and only get the stuff at the top so now i need to change my res even moar

Hmm, 1024x768 is usually the default in knoppix until you change something.
It would probably be easier to help you out if you were more specific about
your machine than just mentioning it is a laptop. :-)
What's in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and what do you get if you say
lspci on the command line ?

ok umm its a 2.4 p4 9600pro, some lcd that goes to 1600x1200 uxga. now i found the resulition panal last night but i cant accept it. i mean the changes never take affect. so it is nust stuck at 640x480.

whne i do ispci i get command not found.

ill post my /etx/x11/f=xf86config-4 in a min

What are you refering to by "the thing to do that"? Are you booting from the CD? If so, perhaps you mean that you are using a cheat code to change the resolution. For example:

Code:

---

knoppix screen=1400x1050

---

Is this the way you are changing it? If you have fully booted from the CD or if you have done a hdinstall, then you can use kxconfig. Is that what you did? Or did you simply manually edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. Please post back whether you are working from the CD or the HD and what things you have tried.

Thank You

Try running either aumix, xaumix, or kmix. If you are trying to play a cd, make sure that the cd volume is turned up on any of these volume utilities. It's usually set to 0.

ok knoppix is installed to my harddrive no cd in the drive. now i changed teh res in the "display" settings in peripherals>display.

This looks odd, try remoing the /60Hz part, like this:
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "640x480"
Virtual 0 0
EndSubSection

(Make sure you do this in the subsection with Depth 16)

Not "ispci" but "lspci" :-) (first char is lowercaps "L")
Running it in verbose mode would be even better:
lspci -v
